Itinerary
- Tour stop
Walk through the dramatic rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet - the only place on earth where you can see the Mid-Atlantic Ridge above ground. Get to know UNESCO World Heritage site, home to Iceland's ancient parliament (Alþingi), founded in 930 AD. Stroll the Almannagjá gorge and enjoy sweeping views over the valley and lake.
- Tour stop
Witness Iceland's raw geothermal power in this steaming valley of hot springs and bubbling mud pots. Watch the Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 metres into the air. Get to know geology behind these natural wonders as you explore the marked paths.
- Tour stop
Stand in awe before Gullfoss, the 'Golden Falls' - one of Iceland's most powerful and beautiful waterfalls, plunging in two dramatic tiers into a rugged canyon. Feel the spray and, on sunny days, catch rainbows arching over the cascade. Viewing platforms offer breathtaking photo opportunities.
- Tour stop
Explore Kerið, a striking 3,000-year-old volcanic crater with steep red and black slopes cradling a vivid aquamarine lake. Walk the rim for panoramic views or descend to the water's edge, and learn how this colourful caldera was formed.
